printing double sided in Publisher

[cassjmb]

I’ve searched Publisher thoroughly, and I can’t find a command to print a
regular book—on both sides of the pages. Clicking the “double side†command
causes Publisher to shrink two pages and print them side-by-side on one side
of a page. Not what I want.

Word lets you print all the odd pages of the book, flip the stack over,
reinsert it into the paper feed, then print all the even pages. Voila! Double
sided printing. Why can’t Publisher do that? Or can it?

It's not a Publisher thing. If your printer can't print double-sided,
nothing Publisher can do will change that.

If you are using 2003 and before, View, uncheck two page spread, go to page one
print current page, click no to the query, turn the page over, go to page two,
print current page, click no to the query and so on....

John, I don't think you can print a booklet the way you advised in 2007 if you
don't have a duplex unit (thank goodness I have one). You need to find out what
page is behind what page. For instance the print should be 1,8 if it is an eight
page booklet. Turn the page over, print 7,2. It is hard for me, I am not a
spatial person. When you are doing a many paged booklet it can become confusing.
If you notice the 7 is before the 2. The best way is to look at a multiple page
print preview.

I agree but as I understood the question...the project
was on full sheets...so I figured there would be no fold
to deal with.

Please help! I am trying to convert a 140 page thesis into a bindable
format. I opened a "Master Page" format in Pub 2003, set margins so that
the inside of the pages are large enough to accomodage the turn space
required in binding (more than 1 inch), and used "Import Office Document."
THE MARGINS DISAPPEAR! They revert to some too-small default! The same for
any text boxes I set up prior to importing.
What's going on here????

 

[Mary Sauer]

Marjorie, Create one text box within your margin, right-click the text box,
click change text, click text file, browse to the Word document. Publisher will
create text boxes and pages within the predefined margin.

 

[Marjorie]

Thank you! The first time I tried this, it didn't work, but today I
succeeded. I'm not quite sure how, but I now have the desired STABLE margins.
